Hey there and welcome youve come to the right place for info, advice and support on these cars. As for the cossie slow to start, i think thats very common, especially from cold, mine is the same, but should start better when warmed up. Gez.

A valver will do a e30 325, The M3 will do the 2.3 but the 2.5 16v has got a better top end so it will be a close one. It depends also what M3 its against as they had a 200bhp one and a 215bhp. But the M3's are quick, i do like the E30's but they cant compare to a valver. On paper the 2.5 is faster than the M3 but not as quick 60. Glad your enjoying the car
